I just finished binge watching this series and it was a rollercoaster of emotions. I kept thinking about it afterwards. I wanted to know what FDS members thought of show?

Connell was such a dick to Marianne in high school and I was so mad at him for not asking her to the debs. I'm glad she straight-up ghosted him, it was well deserved. From a FDS standpoint, she should have stopped talking to him in university, but then the show would be over.

I did love him by the end of the series, he really does grow to be a better person. It's hard to hate him despite his actions. I feel bad for his girlfriend (Helen) he strung along though and also Jamie. I know everyone hated him and he's a massive dick, but I really felt bad for him in Italy.

It's also interesting to note that this show embodies everything that is wrong with millennial relationships these days. She initiates the relationship, they have sex very early, he never commits to her, he doesn't communicate etc. I really loved the ending. I think Marianne was definitely a HVM by the end. She knows her worth, hence why she chooses to stay in Dublin without Connell. It's odd to see other people upset about the ending, but I loved, LOVED that she for once chose herself and didn't decide to give up everything to move for a man.
